“هزار سال پیش
شبی که ابر اخترانِ دور دست
می‌گذشت از فراز بام من
صدام کرد

چه آشناست این صدا
همان که از زمان گاهواره می‌شنیدمش
همان که از درون من صِدام می‌کند

هزار سال میان جنگل ستاره‌ها پیِ تو گشته‌ام
ستاره‌ای نگفت
کزین سرای بی‌کسی
کسی صدات می‌کند؟

هنوز دیر نیست
هنوز صبر من
به قامت بلند آرزوست

عزیز همزبان من
تو در کدام کهکشان نشسته‌ای؟!...”
― هوشنگ ابتهاج

“Ein Jeder engel ist schrecklich.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

“Marry, and you will regret it; don’t marry, you will also regret it; marry or don’t marry, you will regret it either way. Laugh at the world’s foolishness, you will regret it; weep over it, you will regret that too; laugh at the world’s foolishness or weep over it, you will regret both. Believe a woman, you will regret it; believe her not, you will also regret it… Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, and you will regret that too; hang yourself or don’t hang yourself, you’ll regret it either way; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy.”
― Søren Kierkegaard

“What is a poet? An unhappy man who hides deep anguish in his heart, but whose lips are so formed that when the sigh and cry pass through them, it sounds like lovely music.... And people flock around the poet and say: 'Sing again soon' - that is, 'May new sufferings torment your soul but your lips be fashioned as before, for the cry would only frighten us, but the music, that is blissful.”
― Soren Kierkegaard, Either - Or
